Ilse is the third generation on her mother's side who
shows great artistic talent. After high school, Ilse started
a career in the South African Police Service as a Police
artist, drawing wanted criminals, stolen goods, designing
pamphlets, posters, ext. Her background as an identikit
artist laid the foundation for her exquisite style. Ilse
only started to paint with acrylic late in the 1990's, doing
small projects only for family and friends. She soon discovered
the magic of painting in oil and never looked back. After
a career of 16 years in the South African Police Service,
Ilse pursued her dream and started painting full time in
2006. |
